The River Current
July 28, 2014
We fear what’s in our future but we love to face the past
We say that we are happy but always look for greener grass
We think the other side is better: happy days, complacent weather
But once we pass the river tide, arms unfolded, strengthened pride: finally the other side we see, better weather but still the same me
Never lead your doubts astray lest they fall into the hands of weaker prey: temptation, hate, fortified greed; don't let such weaknesses take your lead, for in the way of your happiness they impede
Rather than going to the other side why not stand in the middle and enjoy the tide
Appreciate the graceful river flow
Face the challenges that drown you, let them help you grow
The River will teach you all you need to know, life and loves secrets, components necessary to grow
There is no need to focus on the things that passed; River knows that only success in the present lasts
Remember the river and all of its presence; never let ungratefulness be the source of your pride and essence
So always remember that though the grass may seem greener on the other side, that someone else may not even have grass in which to preside
